Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022266530A1] A method and system for cleaning a surface using laser radiation is provided. In one example, a system for cleaning & surface using laser radiation includes a laser source configured to generate laser radiation, the laser source configured to emit laser radiation in a cleaning mode, the cleaning mode characterized as a modulated continuous wave (CW) mode having a duty cycle less than 100%, pulse-repetition frequency greater of at least 10 kilohertz (kHz), and a FWRM pulse duration in a range of 1 microsecond (g.s) to 10 (milliseconds) ms inclusive, a housing configured as a handheld apparatus that dime is the laser radiation to the surface, and an optical fiber coupling the handheld apparatus to the laser source.
